I do not remember reading anything on Frameworks about Ben Van Meter and sorry
if this info is a repeat of something that I missed.
It saddened me to have heard just today that Ben Van Meter one of the Founding
Fathers of Canyon Cinema passed away in 2019. Perhaps this was discussed
earlier and I missed it.
Ben’s films have long been neglected. Alas there was no obituary, his website
is gone, and also sadly no one knows where his prints are or who to contact.
No one seems to know the cause of his death or if there is an estate,
relatives, etc. to whom we may be able to contact.

PS I have a long story about Ben and his last relationship with Canyon Cinema
back in 1981. Soon to be published.
